Waiting times for colonoscopy

Hi everyone - I've had bowel symptoms for a little while but decided to go to the drs when I could see blood in my poo. Was sent for blood tests and FIT test which came back positive. I have a phone call on thursday with the colorectal surgery department at my local hospital but how long will I have to wait for further tests beyond that? Do people wait a long time? I'm really anxious about having to wait forever to find out if there's something wrong.

  • My colonoscopy was two weeks after gp referral l delayed it until after Christmas as they offered Christmas Eve. The waiting time seems to varie depending on your hospital schedule. I was referred on by the colorectal nurse specialist for an appointment two weeks later In gynaecology oncology.

    I hope you have a speedy diagnosis like me and then know what is happening. 
    take care
